Keeping with the Ford theme, here's a very nice '55 Crown Victoria offered by Danbury Mint. A 55th Anniversary LE in Buckskin Brown & Snowshoe White.

ANOTHER one I didn't buy for some ridiculous reason! It is a beauty in these rather uncommon colors.

Have it, love it. Jack, I think we all see models we didn't buy at the time for one reason or another and then have regrets later on.

One I missed and have kicked myself many times for not adding it. I remember at the time it came out, I had 6 or 7 models on order and my thinking at the time was, "I don't need another Crown Victoria". And that was true at the time, as I already had FIVE different re-paints on my shelf. So I passed. GREAT PHOTOS JOHN! Again, it's so good to see you posting when you can. Hope you're continuing to get well.

I missed this one as well, and I don't even remember it being offered. This was a nice surprise. Thanks for sharing John.

Gorgeous color combo. Looks good enough to eat.

It’s always interesting to me to compare a model with the actual car. In the case of this Danbury Mint Crown Vic in Buckskin Tan/Snowshoe White the model is so authentic as to make it virtually impossible to tell it from the actual car. What a treasure that model is, John. Thanks for posting those great pictures. Beautiful car replicated beautifully in 1:24.

One of DM's early efforts but has held up VERY WELL; it still looks fantastic form any angle.
